Add, Edit & Update All in one Contact Management Form
<![CDATA[
Here is a fun example on how to use functions to squeeze the most out of one page. This page lists users, adds users and edits users.
<?
/*
CREATE TABLE `kids` (
`id` int(10) NOT NULL auto_increment,
`first_name` varchar(30) NOT NULL default '',
`last_name` varchar(50) NOT NULL default '',
`email` varchar(75) default NULL,
`contact_status` tinyint(1) NOT NULL default '0',
PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
